Clinical Interests:

Dr. Robbins practices integrative family medicine with a focus on chronic illness and prevention. His clinical interests include allergies, autoimmune conditions, men's health and mental health.

Healing Philosophy:

We have seen a marked increase of chronic illness as pharmaceutical medicines are overused to suppress acute symptoms and conditions. Inflammation is one of the primary hallmarks of chronic disease, and this inflammatory response creates symptoms in the body or the mind, and often in both at once. Dr. Robbins seeks to address the root causes for chronic inflammation, freeing up energy and vitality within his patients. His approach to patient care includes acute and constitutional homeopathic prescriptions, botanical and nutritional medicine, and conventional and esoteric lab testing.

In 2008, he earned the Les Griffith, ND, award for service to the community.
